Beyond Beef must have heard my complaint. I went into my local health food store and found the new Beyond Beef sausages in a CARDBOARD TRAY. Snapped them up right away. I'm hoping to see the burgers in the cardboard trays soon.

A Republican won in a Republican district.. Was any other result expected?
Former GOP Rep. Tom Marino resigned from Congress in January, just weeks into his term and after he won reelection last November by 32 percentage points. The district, which covers northeastern and central parts of the state, voted for Trump overwhelmingly in the 2016 election, 66 percent to 30 percent, over Hillary Clinton.

It goes on his criminal record, and they garnish his wages for the fine.
It costs $1000s to house minor criminals in jail. Our jails are overflowing with people who committed itty bitty crimes.
For a while here, the sheriff was arresting (in handcuffs), and holding in jail, people who had overdue library fines or hadn't returned a book. It really clogged up the legal system until they made them stop.
